*News Report Flickers on an old black and white television hanging from the ceiling in the sterile breakroom in the shop. Several workers, eating lunch on break, a couple smoking cigarettes, one playing solitaire, sort of ignore the reports of the international crisis that inagurated Stoddenia's arrival on the world stage...*

*A blond Newscaster continues her report*

Anchor: As soon as the Crisis was resolved, the Government of Stoddenia set out to consolidate its libertarian, egalitarian, social democratic revolution in the countryside. Largely a product of elements of the City, the revolution only reached into the countryside in small doses before it became a de jure fact.

Soon after the crisis over Stoddenia was resolved, government commissars were seen in the myriad of little villages, like this one, in Doceopterix province *camera cuts to footage of the farming village, where people live just above subsistance level in thatched huts, and with farming impliments strewn about outside of the houses* to explain the goals of the Revolution to the population. These people seem ambivalent, but in reality, the greatest support for the revolution comes from this part of the Country, the so called "breadbasket of Stoddenia".

*footage cuts to a deep valley with verticle walls and lush forests surrounding individual plots weaved together in a patchwork tapestry that spreads across the land outside another village* Here partisans did not need convincing. They are all armed, and were prepared, in the recent crisis to establish the first bases in the hills in defense of their revolution against foreign militarism.

*cuts back to anchor* What has become known recently as the "Stoddenia Consolidation" has occured most often without government participation. It was rather forced upon the nation by the actions of external militarism and aggression. In other words, the consolidation occured organicly, and therefore, is hoped to be more fundamental and permanent. The people are now relieved there has been no struggle within Stoddenia territory, and are prepared to establish what people predict could be one model of socialist egalitarianism for others to emmulate.
